Lighting Opinions?

New to this board.. first post!

I've got an established Aqueon 8 with live sand/rock from a friend but his lighting was going out and I wanted some opinions and had questions on these lights. Hoping to see what you guys might say...

Would this be okay for corals? if only certain types, which?

I've seen folks say this isn't a very good light... but not even for a Nano? How essential is the purple or violet led for corals? Should I be worried that the first light doesn't seem to have it?


Do either of the lights really beat out the other over all in terms of what is best for my nano? If you can suggest another light in the same price range then please do so! Obviously, I'm on a budget so Prime HDs and Kessil Lights are not a viable option.

Like I said, I'm super new to this so hopefully you guys are gentle :confused2:
I apologize ahead if this is the wrong forum to ask...:cry:
